Along the lines of the pod homes I came up with a few days back, I thought today that maybe pod communities could be possible. They'd be great for multiple families that want to go in on the off grid lifestyle together. Split the cost of 100 acres for example, which in rural areas like TN, KY and WV can easily be picked up for about $60,000. If 8 couples / families decided to go in on it together, the land alone would only run about $7500 each. By building a single large kitchen / dining complex in the center of the pod area and sharing that cost and then each family choosing how to assemble their family pod, it gives them flexibility of how they'd like to live.
Maintenance of the land, care of the livestock, growing of the gardens could all be shared responsibilities with shared benefits of the work. Here is an example of what a pod community would look like:
Each family could enclose their personal pods in a single fence for privacy with fencing surrounding the entire 100 acres complex. By sharing the financial burden and work load, everyone benefits.
